Shirley Chisholm was “unbought and unbossed,” the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first to run for president in a major party. She smashed through the double barriers of race and gender, and she did it without asking permission.
In the House, she fought for women, children, and the poor, often alone, often dismissed. But she turned every dismissal into fuel. Her 1972 presidential campaign wasn’t symbolic—it was a declaration that the highest office belonged to everyone. Chisholm didn’t just open doors; she kicked them off their hinges.
